This is rather lengthy, but I hope an enjoyable read... January 30, 2016 Love and Pool Recently, while in one of the pool rooms I frequent, I heard someone make a comment. This particular person is someone for whom I respect both for his ability as a player and as a person in general. The...

Attention players from Mobile, NOLA, and all points in between:

ActionHound is a new app for your iPhone or Android. It helps you locate players (and be located) by the GPS. It has a chat feature in which the players can match up and also a venue finder to set up the match. My description is somewhat vague as to its full capacity, but I have not yet been...

Tuesday night I matched up with a local player to play some one pocket. I have never lost to this guy, ever. That is, until Tuesday... The match started out as expected. I quickly won the first two games. Then, something in my head clicked, or should I say, short circuited! I started shooting...

I just want to let everyone know that Skeeters in Gulfport, formally known as, Jim Bob's, has recovered their tables with tournament blue Simonis! The tables are now playing better than ever! I'm hoping this will attract some players back to this once thriving poolroom!

Recently I was playing a match with another local player. My girlfriend, with whom I live, was with me. She had been fighting a cold for a few days and started feeling quite badly. I was running over my opponent quite handily and wasn't sure what to do. She went out to the car to lie down and...

Well, I was going to post a couple pictures and ask what this cue might be worth but my phone says I don't have enough memory. Someone might might know just from a brief description. It's a 4 point, looks like ebony or cocobola on maple. Steel joint with one beauty ring. That's pretty much it...

I was just wondering if anyone who has played with an OB Classic (or Classic Pro) shaft has upgraded to an OB Classic plus (or Classic Pro plus). If so, how do you like the new, comparatively? Also, what is the "modified conical taper" And how does that compare to the standard "pro taper?"

When Scott originally called out Richie to play this match, it was to be played at Buffalo's. Now, for some reason, they are playing at Lacy's where spectators will be charged $20/seat/day. Richie is a smoker. Lacy's is a nonsmoking establishment which means the match will be delayed several...

I went to Mobile tonight to play some pool. Stopped in at Runway Billiards and hit some balls for a bit then headed to Breakers. It was closed! When did this happen and where do all the players go now?

I see that JoeyA's post has moved on down the line so I'm posting a reminder in case anyone is looking for something to do this weekend. Lacy's Cue in Chalmette, Tonight: ring game tournament on 9 foot Diamond Tomorrow: $2000 added 9-ball tournament; race to 7; alternate break; rack your own...

So, I've been reading and participating in a thread in which the OP has been openly bashing and seems to have a vendetta for Fusco's The Spot in the Philadelphia area. I have never had a desire to visit Philadelphia from watching TV shows such as "Philadelphia Parking Wars." But, after reading...

Awhile back I heard a rumor that A&E was going to do a reality show about pool action on and around the coast. According to what I heard they were going to start at Buff's in NOLA. Any truth to this? If so, when or has it already happened?

I recently relocated to the Mississippi gulf coast. I'm looking for some light 1 pocket action/practice. I'm not a "high roller" gambler nor am I a "world beater" by any means! Skeeter's, in Biloxi, is the closest poolroom to me but finding someone to play there is next to impossible. Driving to...

I recently moved to Mississippi from another state. At the poolroom at home where I played there is a guy who has several cues. Now, I understand some people collect cues, trade cues, buy/sell/trade cues as a side business (or primary), but this guy PLAYS with every cue he has! He has a cue for...
